<p>I will no longer defend you or your coaching ability. Your consistent misuse of the words &quot;good &amp; well&quot; have done you in.</p>
<p>People perform well, not good. Good is an adjective, as in, he is a good player and today he played well. Since you do not have a &quot;good&quot; grasp of English grammar, I hope you do &quot;well&quot; as a coach, since you do not possess the proper use of the English language, your credentials preclude you from a meaningful alternative occupation. <br />

If he can compete, then he&#39;ll see playing time and if he did say it, then his word is his bond and nothing else will change it... He&#39;s stubborn that way, so get over it. </p>

You get a lot of these &quot;savior&quot; coaches that come in to great programs and reap the benefits of the hard work and foundations laid by their predecessors. Saban may be a better coach than Shula, but Shula was out there recruiting through all the turmoil, and it&#39;s his kids that are winning for Saban. Urban Meyer had the same thing at UF. Zook, for all his faults (and it looks like he maybe didn&#39;t have faults, he&#39;s doing a heck of a job at Illinois), was a great recruiter, and left a rediculous amount of talent for Meyer to win with when he arrived.</p>
<p>Coker, on the other hand, left NOTHING! He logged onto recruiting services, scoured the country for 5-star recruits and brought them in regardless of their personalities, work ethic, or ability to play in the UM system. He expected all the athletes to fit into his system, and when they didn&#39;t evolve or change they would cry about it and stab each other in the back. Shannon is now doing all the work that Zook and Shula had to do at their schools, and here is hoping that they don&#39;t fire Shannon and bring in someone else to reap the rewards of his hard work.</p> all-u-can-eat free dressing commented on 'Q&A with Patrick Nix, more notes'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2010535202ba4970b2008-10-03T14:25:14Z2008-10-03T14:25:14Z all-u-can-eat free dressingOf course GameDay isn’t going to the lifeless fish house.

An “official” said that they expect “70,000 for the game.” What a load of krap. That place won’t even sniff 50k. It looks mighty empty in there with 25thousand empty orange seats. You’re football program is still heading down as you start understand what a terminally krappy stadium situation you are stuck in. </p>
<p> GameDay only goes to locations that have an actual gameday spirit OUTSIDE the stadium as well as inside. The only thing outside Dolphin stadium is a couple hundred acres of nothing. Virtually everyone that comments on Dolphin Stadium says the same thing;it’s a nice “venue” but a “terrible place to watch a game.” Enjoy the reality of knowing that your school just doesn&#39;t have the resources to compete at the top level anymore. You&#39;re beginning to understand. </p>
<p> It’s funny when DuhU outprices lower bowl tickets and fans in the upper deck ( binoculars required) are looking down at empty seats. Just a small detail of an enormous bungling of a very important matter in the history of the UM football program. Those empty seats are your new reality.

RS is still making rookie mistakes in his second season</p>

<p><br />
Totally agree with this one. You gotta remember Shannon is a linebacker who&#39;s dealt with defense his entire career. This HC job is the only time in his career that he&#39;s had to focus on offense and he treating them like a defense. If you sub out your best skill players (Coop, Marve, some receivers) in the second quarter you disrupt their rhythm, its plain and simple. and yes, for an offense full of freshmen and sophomores rhythm is even that much more imoprtant. When they get back on the field they have to try to find it again and as we&#39;ve seen vs. Uif and NC they didn&#39;t until the last drive and it was too late then. It&#39;s necessary to sub guys out on defense to keep fresh guys in but on offense you have to give guys the opporunity to get in &quot;the zone&quot; and if they&#39;re sitting on the bench for 6-7 minutes every second quarter you decrease that chance. </p>
<p>A much better idea would be to let Marve play the enire first half. Bring Harris out to start in the 3rd for two series and see how he produces, this way it&#39;s more natural and Marve can truly come back out and reestablish himself and concentrate on being a closer. As far as Coop, RS should let the players have a little more say-so in letting them tell him if they are tired or not. If Coop says he can go in the second let him go. Don&#39;t assume by taking him out in the second and puting him back in there in the 4th quarter that that is the only mode for success. I love RS and I love what he&#39;s done there so far but the in game coaching is very similar to the Coker days and the subbing thing is the one thing that I see that is unorthodox and is messing up the offensive rhythm. You can&#39;t coach offense like you coach defense and RS knows defense. He should let Nix have more say-so in this as well, (him being a former quarterback and understanding this fully). </p>
<p>Lastly, every game is different. You can&#39;t do the same exact thing in every game. Does he think teams won&#39;t watch the film, know that he&#39;s going to put Jacory in, in the second quarter and then blitz the hell out of him? At least bring him in at a different part of the game each week. It&#39;s too regimented and shows that he&#39;s more concerned with sticking to the plan in his head than game-planning during the game (making adjustments, changing schemes) something that Butch Davis gave us a clinic on last week. I want Randy to succeed so bad and I hope he learns from these early season mistakes and gets it right. He&#39;s doing all the right things otherwise he just needs to let Nix make these decisions because he&#39;s more knowledgable (he&#39;s a freaking quarterback!). </p>

<p>How about we just relax on his play calling? It&#39;s getting VERY old!!!</p>
<p>Shannon has him here for a reason, and he would be out just like last year&#39;s DC if Shannon felt he wasn&#39;t getting the job done. Nix is doing an excellent job in developing these kids. Our inexperience is probably going to lose us a few more games.</p>
<p>I am still a lock for 8-4 this year. After a 5-7 season there isn&#39;t much more you can ask for. Our upperclassmen are not getting the job done. This has nothing to do with coaching. Some of those guys shouldn&#39;t even be at THE U, but you can thank Coker for that.</p>
<p>What the coaches have done is find someone that WILL get the job done. If the coaches weren&#39;t shuffling players to find the right mix of them then I would have a problem. They are doing the best they can with what they have.</p>
<p>I know everyone wants to praise Saban, and what he is doing with Bama, but I do not think Saban inheroited a team as did Shannon with this one. I don&#39;t think people really relize how bad we were. it&#39;s just going to take time, BUT things are looking MUCH better than last. Nix play calling gave us a chance to win the game. We did not have this last year.

As for asking him about the middle screens, I didn&#39;t feel like I was going to get a warm response if I questioned his playcalling. You have to find the right time sometimes to ask questions like that. He gave me 6 minutes -- that&#39;s more than most other reporters this year.</p>

I know you're running with the story and doing your job but...<p>Manny, great work on the blog as usual. </p>
<p>I know you&#39;re running with the story and doing your job but at least give us Harris&#39; or someone who&#39;s really making the decisions perspective. Or even what you really think or feel based on conversations and experience.</p>
<p>That&#39;s all I&#39;m saying. Now maybe you&#39;re putting the word out so that the powers that be can do what they need to do to prevent this from happening.</p>
<p>But Jacory and his family knew what he was getting into when he signed. It&#39;s not like Shannon said you&#39;re coming in and will start over Marve. What&#39;s with all this second-guessing when the reality hits home?? </p>
<p>Besides, he&#39;d be doing the same thing at all those schools who are trying to sell him a bill of goods but they don&#39;t tell him that. He&#39;d be going through the same learning process and he&#39;d have to wait his time unless he out-played whoever is in front of him.</p>
<p>Besides, how many freshmen QBs walk into a situation and start running a pro-set offense right out of the gate?? No one, unless there&#39;s no other option.</p>
<p>Or is he afraid that he won&#39;t be able to beat out Marve all of a sudden, now that he sees it everyday and in games?? I personally think he willl.</p>
<p>And all of this isn&#39;t even considering the U&#39;s history with QBs sitting, learning the system, waiting their turn, then lighting it up.</p>
<p>I don&#39;t understand. I would understand if he came in the games and drove the team the length of the field for TDs. THEN he would have room to talk about transferring.</p>
<p>But he hasn&#39;t done that. So he needs to just man up and plow ahead. He&#39;s making adult decisions now and living with them when they&#39;re not sweet and nice is a big part of being an adult.</p>
